The Value of Ambition.

Legitimate ambition is the safeguard OF
society. 1t stimulates the respondent and
checks the evil desires Of the strong.
Whenever man loses the desire of doing
the best work in the calling he has chosen,
he becomes a burden to his family and
society, and his loss would not be felt by
the community. He is like ship without
a ruider, and will sooner or later founder
on the rocks encircling the harbor Of indie
pendence, while the man filled with the
righteous desire of achieving success by
strict application to his business will en-
ter the coveted haven with flying cOlors.
Rightful ambition and industry go hand
in hand, and one can not exist without the
other

RUSHING TO DEATH

in the attempt to swim the Niagara
Whirlpool Rapids is no more reckless or
dangerous than to triile with disease
which each day secures stronger hold
and hastens the end of life. This is
specially true Of rheumastism, neuralgia,
sciatica, and nervous headache, which
though perhaps slight at first are extreme
ly dangerous, and steadily secure n trmer
grip until at last the agony is uncomfortable
and sudden death brings relief.
These diseases can he cured by the nse
of Athlophoros which, in connection with
Athlophoros Pills, never fails when prop
crly used. Read the following from those
who have tested il.

not move hand or foot, not even bear the

father came in the house and said, why
don't you try Athlophoros? had already
tried about everything could think of,
without getting any relief whatever,
That night about ten o'clock took the
first dose of A,hlophoros. The next day
at noon | was out OF the house. 1t did its
work the quickest of anything ever heard
of | consider it a very valuable remedy,
and could not get another ! would not
take one thousand $1,000 for bottle OF
it. Since my cure have recommended it
to many, both for rheumatism and neural
gia, and it has always proven the same.
One extreme case of neuralgia, where the
lady had suffered over a year and the dis
ease resisted the strongest medicine and
the treatment of one of the best physicians,
was completely cured with two and hall
bottles Of Athlophoros.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoro:
